The Royal Albatross (Diomedea epomophora or Diomedea sanfordi) is one of the largest seabirds, with a wingspan reaching up to 3.3 meters (10.8 feet). It has white plumage, black upper wings, and a pale pink bill. Known for its ability to glide over the ocean without flapping its wings, the Royal Albatross can cover vast distances. Found primarily in the Southern Ocean, it breeds on remote islands and New Zealand's Otago Peninsula (the Royal Albatross Centre). Conservation efforts are crucial due to threats from habitat degradation, fishing practices, and climate change. This majestic bird symbolizes the wild, unspoiled expanses of the world's oceans.
Large seabird commonly seen in the southern ocean
The northern royal albatross is a large seabird in the albatross family. It was split from the closely related southern royal albatross as recently as 1998, though not all scientists support that conclusion and some consider both of them to be subspecies of the royal albatross. The northern royal albatross is typically about 115 cm (45 in), weighs 6.2 to 8.2 kg (14–18 lb), and has a wingspan from 270 to 305 cm (106–120 in). These birds nest on the Chatham Islands, Enderby Island in the Auckland Islands, and Taiaroa Head on the Otago Peninsula of New Zealand.
